Hello, I am building websites about
horses and I would like to have an encyclopaedia of horse
breeds there. Would you mind if I use a few photos of the
breeds you have on your websites? Thank you very much.

Keith's Reply

Hi Nikola, you have permision to use the photos on my website as
long as they are not used for commercial reasons and as long as
www.canaryzoo.com is mentioned in
relation to the photos. Thanks

This morning I observed my Mini eating my
Burning Bush (has red berries). Looking at your toxic plant
list it mentions toxic if eaten, but no mention of horses.
Should I remove the Burning Bush?

Keith's Reply

Hi Lori, as you know horses are extremelly stomach delicate,
anything that can upset their stomach can lead to a colic, if you
can fence the burning bush off someway it would be better, sometimes
horses won't touch these plants, for example, I have a poinsettia
next to my horses and they don't touch it but if they decided to eat
it it would cause them a strong mouth irritation. If you can't fence
it off they you have no option but to consider removing it. If you
need any more advice don't doubt in asking.

I hope you can help. I am desperately
trying to find a picture of a Spiti horse for a feature I'm
writing in our magazine (Your Horse) and I wondered if you
might be able to send me one of yours to use. I have
searched high and low and I've spoken to vets in India to
try and get one with no luck. Would there be any way you
might be able to help? I'd really appreciate it. Kind
Regards.

I'm a suscriber to your horse and I must say it is a very
interesting magazine with many interesting articles, congratulations
for the great work you are doing. I found it very difficult to get a
photograph of a spiti horse (pony). I am sending you the one I have
on my website although the quality is very poor. If I come over a
better one I will forward it to you.

I don't mind people using the photos if they are for educational
purposes and if www.canaryzoo.com is credited.

Hi, I'm trying to find out if the dead
leaves of the myosporum laetum are still toxic to horses,
and how much does one have to eat before it affect them.
Thanks for any information.

Keith's Reply

Hi Carole, as far as I know the myoporum laetum is extremelly toxic,
leaves and fruits are toxic and may be fatal to livestock. The toxin
(ngaione) is a furanoid sesquiterpene ketone that constitutes
70%-80% of oil of ngaio, an essential oil. The fruit is less toxic
than the leaves and toxines are released with leaf fall. The ammount
that has to be eaten depends much on the size of the animal
but it doesn't take much to kill an animal like a horse which is
very sensitive to most toxines. I hope this information if helpful
to you, thanks for visiting my site.

Keith, thanks for the information, I just
did not know if the dead leaves were toxic as well. Also if
it was a horse around 1.000 lbs. do you have any idea how
much they'd need to eat, it not, could you refer me on.
Thanks.

Hi Carole, contact Dan Brown from Cornell University, I consider him
to be one of the best experts on toxic plants. I have recommended
many people to contact him. Mention canaryzoo.com when contacting
him. I hope he can help you.

Hi, I was just wondering if I would be
able to use your picture of a fallabella (the skewbald from
your website) to use as an icon on a game called ponybox,
it's a game where you own and sell ponies or horses, it's
not real but you need a photo to show what the horse looks
like.

Keith's Reply

Dear Alex, I don't mind the use of my photos for educational non
comercial reasons.

Hello! I saw your page, and it was great! And I saw that you
haven't got any pictures of the barb horse. So I send you
one, and I hope you love it. This is one of my favourite
horse species.

Keith's Reply

Dear Orsy, thank you
very much for the photograph, thanks to friend's contributions all
over the World I'm getting the photos of the horse species I'm
missing. I'm glad you like my page and I hope you continue visiting
it.

Dear Egle, Thank you for the pictures. I hope you
like the website and continue visiting us.

Hallo!,
I have a Welsh Stud in Germany, please will you link to my
website? Please, have you addresses/links to another Welsh
Pony Breeder/Stud in my country? I'm very interested in new
contacts.

Keith's Reply

Dear Silvia, I have been looking at your website and
it is very interesting, I would like to exchange links on our pages.
Regarding the links, I'm afraid I have no links to Welsh Pony
breeders in Germany, if I find any I will send them on to you.

What a fun site! I found
it by chance when I was looking for info on Timor ponies
(there's not much to be found anywhere). I was fascinated
with your selection of horse breeds though I'm not convinced
by your Welsh Mountain Pony picture.

Keith's Reply

Dear friend. I'm pleased you like my site. You are
right, it's very difficult to find information about Timor ponies.
Regarding the Welsh Mountain Pony, I will check the photo. It's
quite difficult to find photos on many species.

My name is Alejandra
Irarrazaval and I am working on a book with the objective to
spread the history of the Chilean horse. For this reason I
need different images to illustrate several chapters. I am
writing to you in order to ask for your help. I need an
image of a polonian Konik pony, in good resolution (300
dpi). We need a conformational pose (without tack or rider)
of a horse that clearly shows that phenotypical traits of a
good representative of the breed. Thank you very much.

Keith's Reply

Dear Alejandra, it's quite difficult to find a good
photo of a Konik pony. I am sending you the photos I have, I hope
they are useful to you.
